[logback-user] log file splits in multiple tmp files

[Suraj Mundada]

Hi Ceki,

I can not figure out version of logback used by play application.

However, there are following jars of logback in
my \.ivy2\cache\ch.qos.logback\logback-core\jars folder

logback-core-1.1.1
logback-core-1.1.3
logback-core-1.1.4

Regards,
Suraj
